Goose Creek city, KY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Goose Creek city is a very small community in Kentucky, with 300 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #422 of 554 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 49.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Goose Creek city earn a median of $112,083 a year, 42.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 102% above the $55,469 median for the 246 Kentucky cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Goose Creek city is valued at $326,900, 7.7% above the national figure and 108% above the $157,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 300 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Goose Creek city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Goose Creek city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
